Good, creative thinking! I really like the style of your garage and wish you many good hours in there. Another interesting thing is to see the differences in the way garages are built (from a materials and technical point of view) in USA and Sweden (my home country). This goes for the other...

Tou Pilsner! Sounds familiar :thumbup: goodfellow; I know how that is. I made my military service very close to the arctic circle and the midnight sun is very special. Not to mention the northern lights in winter, amazing! It may be a bit cold though :shocking:

My wife is 50% danish, so I will not comment that :) Regarding the beer; I can't say that I drink Bud often but it happens. And yes, there are som very good European beers such as Tuborg, Carlsberg, DAB etc etc. Two of the best beers I have had is a local Austrian beer named Trumer and a...
